Hi everyone !
First time to post! I am taking a distance course of a physics class now.
I am bit confused about the resistance & wattage.
In the circuit with the bulb, when there is a greater resistance with the bulb the more energy dissipate, therefore it shines brighter... I think.
But, when I read through my tutorial book talking about the wattage of the bulb for example, 60W has less resistance than 40W bulb.
Umm.. I thought "more resistance, more enegery dissipate" so I thought 60W has more resistance than 40W bulb to dissipate more = to mae it shine brighter...?
Could anyone advise?
Cheers!
